Notes de l'éditeur
- http://www.webjunction.org/workforce-resources??? http://www.lyrasis.org/News/LYRASIS-News/2009/09_15.aspx
- Some are fee-based, but may offer free trials Warn about scams, giving too much personal information
- For folks with some post-secondary education, the career services office at their college/university may administer interest testing Myers-Briggs one of the first such tests, but generally expensive and requires counselor State dept. of labor may have opportunities to take such tests
- And other BLS pubs, such as OOH
- Do you have any print or e-resources on? Also, professional/trade associations, especially for information on licensing, credentialling, etc., for those professions requiring such
- In this particular instance, http://www.mediapost.com/, The media, marketing and advertising professional's leading resource for complete news coverage, engaging events, a focused social network, and comprehensive industry jobs, directories and research. Finding associations: if you have access to it, the Gale Encyclopedia of Associations. Also, search for trade association web sites. At http://www.uschamber.com/chambers/directory/ , go to NC, then Charlotte. Show "Largest employers" too Go to http://www.aaaa.org/pages/AgencySearch.aspx, do agency search
- Hoovers – "Hoover's offers proprietary business information through the Internet, data feeds, wireless devices, and co-branding agreements with other online services..." You can get a free trial. [Search "long term care" in "Companies"] Find the trade association: if you have access to it, the Gale Encyclopedia of Associations. Or search for its web sites. Solusource is Thomas's Register; not good for "long term care" as more manufacturing oriented
- Features: Job search: by location, by company, by industry; set up alerts. Post/distribute resumes. Manage leads; follow-ups Privacy features to ensure that current employers, spammers, identity thieves don’t have unauthorized access Other career tools: career advice, help with resume writing, interviewing, salary calculators, etc. Pros: Hundreds of thousands of job listings in almost any industry Searchability and career tools (search alerts, for example) Cons: Commercial focus – some sites accept “fake” job ads (submitted by agencies, recruiters, etc. for the purpose of making money) Registration is required for most functionality Needle in a haystack – potential employers receive too many resumes to “make the cut” Sample search: mechanic/job category = automotive Sample search: field technician (no location specified) - point out recruiters, staffing agencies Walk through features: Suggestion: Because so many resumes are posted via these megasites, job seekers may want to also submit resumes via target company career web sites to increase likelihood of success. If you're wondering about Yahoo's Hot Jobs, it was acquired by Monster (re-direct to Monster.com) Some thinking that "Major Job Boards to Die Within a Decade" (http://www.quintcareers.com/job-board_death_march.html) to be replaced by social networking
- How about "ask a librarian" at the Monroe County Public Library, in Key West? Craigslist can be particularly good for PT work, but have to be careful of scams
- Theme here is you can find state-based resources: www.job.com/Colorado, etc. In just about every state, state govt agency exists for workforce development State libraries often collect resources for libraries developing job search assistance; large public libraries in state
- Dice – "The career hub for tech" TrueCareers is focused on professional positions Again, professional associations
- "So what is JibberJobber? Is it a job search tool? Is it a networking tool? It is more like a personal relationship manager that allows you to do everything you need to do to manage a job search and optimize your network relationships - for the duration of your career!"
- What is Ryze? "Ryze helps people make connections and grow their networks. You can network to grow your business, build your career and life, find a job and make sales. Or just keep in touch with friends." [login to LinkedIn and search Whole Foods in Companies]
- Search Direct Jobs for "Human Resources" In this scenario, American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) Remember too, trade/professional associations; Gale Encyc of Associations Also - Search jobs Category – human resources Type – Full Time Location – Any Search "Jobfox makes job searches easy by connecting you with the people who are hiring at the companies where you want to work. Become part of their inner circle and hear about jobs even before they’re publicly announced. Your application will land in the hands of the right person so you’re sure to get noticed and get better results. Better than job search engines. Better than social networks. And it’s completely confidential, so your job searches stay private."
- Many of these are fee-based; reppler has a free-level– it's an alert service, when someone posts something questionable about you in social networks
- What's in your print collection? In your subscription e-resources? OWL focused on college students
- Pongo not free, but free trial; does more than just resumes Some talk of "social media" resumes, using blog or website as resume VisualCV for the academic environment, though CVs more broadly used outside the US
- Ace the Interview is oriented toward IT jobs
- The BLS info is always a year out of date. Salary.com's free Salary Wizard is what's available within Monster
- Idealist.org also for jobs in nonprofit sector If there's a ___ Cares organization in your area (e.g. "Pittsburgh Cares"– www.pittsburghcares.org) that's a good source
- These are "multipurpose" sites, so to speak http://careeronestop.org/ is US Dept of Labor site JobHuntersBible.com is by Richard Bolles (What Color is Your Parachute?) JobStar.org is California-based, but includes postings from around the country RileyGuide.com, by librarian and author Margaret F. Dikel (nee Riley)
